The regular English Championship campaign reaches its climax on Saturday and there is plenty left to play for at both ends of the division. Ahead of what should be a frenetic final day in the second tier, we’ve assembled an 8/1 acca for your betting pleasure.
Bristol City vs Preston – Bristol City to win
4/5 at Fitzdares
Bristol City need a final-day flourish to book a place in the playoffs and the Robins can make full use of home advantage to see off Preston. City have won a hugely impressive ten of their last 12 Championship fixtures at Ashton Gate, so it’s a little surprising to see them priced as generously as they are here.
Preston meanwhile, have failed to win 13 of their last 14 league assignments and the relegation candidates are easily opposed again in this one.
Burnley vs Millwall – Burnley to win
8/13 at Fitzdares
Saturday could be trophy presentation day at Turf Moor if Burnley manage to pip Leeds to the Championship table at the last hurdle and the Clarets should hold up their end of the bargain with a win over Millwall.
Burnley, who are odds-on favourites on Championship betting sites, have won seven and drawn one of their last eight league games and they have dropped only two of the last 24 points on offer in Lancashire.
Derby vs Stoke – Derby to win
21/20 at Fitzdares
Both Derby and Stoke head into the campaign’s final round of fixtures needing points to guarantee their survival, though the Rams could have the edge in this relegation six-pointer.
Stoke have managed to win only two of their last 15 away games in the Championship and a Derby team buzzing from successive victories on the road at WBA (3-1) and Hull (1-0) could be the latest side to see the struggling Potters off.
Sunderland vs QPR – Sunderland to win
4/7 at Fitzdares
Sunderland, who have lost four games on the bounce, have been limping towards the finish line, however, the hordes of supporters at The Stadium of Light will demand more intensity against QPR as the Black Cats make their final preparations for the playoffs.
Rangers are clear underdogs according to the latest prices on football betting apps and they looked well off the pace when they lost 5-0 to Burnley last weekend. Expect QPR to be turned over again on Saturday.
